He's weaving on a straight even when there is nothing in front of him, heheh.

I find Forza 5 pretty easy, and found Horizon 1 to be a cakewalk. I can't imagine the Forza Horizon games being "difficult".

I suppose it is for some.

Watching some of these people play - I envision someone pushing the stick 100% right or left, letting go, pushing 100% letting go, pushing 100%, letting go. That's how my 6 year old daughter plays. I've been trying to teach her to just push the stick enough to turn in Forza 5. She loves playing it.

Ease that stick over...gently make those turns and adjustments.



Edit** Just realized my daughter is going to steal the controller from me tonight.

I need a second X1 .

This game looks and feels fucking amazing. SO much fun, especially barreling through fields in cockpit view. Game of the year candidate for me based on the demo.

 

[R_Deckard]

Game looks insane, but there is some pop up indeed. Overall it looks glorious.
was about damn time for a good race game too.

Been waiting for ages for a racegame to be released on PS4/Xbox One.
This game, Driveclub and Project Cars will keep my quite busy for the rest of the year

Yeah was going to say this, some small pop in on LOD, shadows and reflections in rain but minor.

Game looks visually splendid and the 30fps with great motion blur certainly makes a good argument for a solid motion blur and fps negating the need for 60

Spoiler

still preferred b4 peeps go mad but a far minor trade off than expected

The intro and atmosphere is amazing and they really captured the feel of speed, festival, sun and fun. It has really impressed me massively and the off-road , great weather effects and solid control system and sound, I think this will be a great seller and success deservedly so.

Looking forward to playing driveclub now as the visuals in that surpass these superb and clean graphics. A real powerhouse to show off anyone doubting what the XboxOne can muster.

I highly recommend.

I didn't say shit about this game though lol

Absolutely. Pulling e-brake turns through fields and timing it perfectly so you end up on the roads, barreling and sliding through and around bushes and trees, it's just so good.

 

[EBreda]

How was Forza 5 only stereo? I definately get 5.1 from it.

I'm lost too. I feel I always got 5.1 out of it. Am I wrong?

I hope you guys like how I designed the OP.

Was fun to get excited with you guys This awesome demo was totally worth it!

 

[mrklaw]

Replay mode + HUD off + super slow mo (pause and use RT) = video clip heaven.

Just need to find some better camera angles.

 

[Deception]

Major Nelson confirmed on Reddit that the game unlocks at midnight EST.

Please oh please let this be the case for tmcc too!!

 

[RoKKeR]

Just did the plane race. Flying down the Italian coastline getting dusted by jets that you are racing... Playground absolutely nailed it.

 

[Astro Racer]

open world + traffic + a few cops, someone has to do it. It allows you to simulate the real life feeling of being an asshole in a super car blowing through traffic.

Need For Speed Rivals put me off police chases in racing games for life.

Ruined the entire game for me. You couldn't drive for one minute without cops showing up.

Yep, such a pain in the ass. That game could have been soooo much better.

This is all true.

Did some tuning to the OP and added this:

The digital deluxe and ultimate editions both are $10 more when I look in the US store.

 

[jem0208]

This game just proves to me that 30 FPS in racers is fine.

This game feels fucking fantastic.

 

[Killer]

game looks amazing. car handling is too slippery though :/.

 

[klodeckel]

The digital deluxe and ultimate editions both are $10 more when I look in the US store.

Hm. Maybe only with Gold? Or only when you played the Demo?

 

[Prologue]

You can't really drift during street races right? If you want to win that is.

 

[Afro]

i almost wouldn't mind forza 6 running at 30fps if it felt this buttery.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Hm. Maybe only with Gold? Or only when you played the Demo?

People who purchased VIP for Forza 5 save $10 I believe.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

It's all about when you drift.

 

[Shortt Sirket]

People who purchased VIP for Forza 5 save $10 I believe.

Except for those of us who got the VIP with the Forza 5 LCE. We didn't get shit!

 

[derFeef]

Hm. Maybe only with Gold? Or only when you played the Demo?

Have played demo, have gold. Not for me :/
edit: ah VIP discount... pffft.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Hm. Maybe only with Gold? Or only when you played the Demo?

Forza 5 VIP discount I think.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

Hm. Maybe only with Gold? Or only when you played the Demo?

I think it has something to do with forza 5?

 

[NullPointer]

Don't talk crazy now ;p

We need to keep what 60fps racers we do have around.

But I know where you're coming from. Horizon 1 was *the* game that turned me from a 60fps framerate whore to someone who could absolutely dig 30fps when done right.

 

[shandy706]

Except for those of us who got the VIP with the Forza 5 LCE. We didn't get shit!

If this is true, then I'm waiting. Where is Helios....THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!! Right away too!

I want to pre-order/pr-load when I get home. I got VIP with the Collectors Edition, I want my discount.

 

[klodeckel]

Oh okay! Will add that, thanks.

 

[Caayn]

People who purchased VIP for Forza 5 save $10 I believe.

Must be that. I've got Gold, played the demo, Forza 2, Forza 3 and 5 on this account but FH2 still shows up as $60, $80 and $100 for each edition

 

[ValfarHL]

This thread makes me want to buy an xone. I probably will now. Thank

Spoiler

screw

you guys.

man.

If they can maintain a solid framerate, GTA5 Online will offer that.

 

[Brakara]

So the lack of race leaderboards in the demo is a tad worrying, but hopefully they'll be in the full game.

 

[OverHeat]

Wow look so good

 

[T.O.P]

MICROSOFT YOU GOTTA FUCKIN ADD A SCREENSHOT FUNCTION BEFORE THIS COMES OUT


YOU HEAR ME

 

[Timmay]

The competing game is streaming now too, and I have to say after watching both for the past hour, I gotta find an Xbox One to buy that doesn't have the coil whine issue. I just have to. This game looks like pure fun.

Anyone playing with the TX? What's it like?

Test Drive Unlimited did it well I thought. The cops would only chase you if you slammed into traffic too much, and you'd only get a ticket if you didn't outrun them. You could race around normally without them giving you trouble most of the time.

Doesn't really fit in this kind of setting though.

 

[amrod]

will demo progress transfer over to the full game?

NEEDS to happen ASAP. This game is gorgeous

 

[Amir0x]

oh my god this game is fucking amazing

Yeah definitely doesn't seem like this will be disappointing in the full game. Now all I need is an appropriate XBO deal and I'm definitely all in. This game and Sunset Overdrive, hooo boy.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Except for those of us who got the VIP with the Forza 5 LCE. We didn't get shit!

I just checked the store again and it's now showing the discount for me and I have VIP for FM5 through the LE so the issue seems to be fixed already

 

[SEGAvangelist]

It ain't happening bro.

BELIEVE

 

[FrankT]

We know it's coming just a matter of timing this fall. It's the big one left. They should make it happen sooner than later.

oh my god this game is fucking amazing

Welcome back into the land of the X.

 

[Cheddahz]

It's really doubtful, as the demo restarts each time you play

 

[Shortt Sirket]

Well, I was not smart and already bought it this morning. Yay me

 

[RoKKeR]

Racing through the fields in an Evo. Yes please.

Edit: Weird, OneDrive took out the sound. Anybody else having that issue?

Edit 2: Must have fixed itself.
